How to raise meat in summer
High summer temperatures are a survival test for succulent plants, with more than 60% of plant deaths occurring during the hot summer season. Mastering scientific maintenance methods can not only help meat spend the summer safely, but also make them rejuvenated in the autumn. This article will systematically analyze the five key elements of fleshy summer maintenance, from environmental control to daily maintenance. Temperature control strategy The ideal temperature range controls the optimal growth temperature of succulent plants between 18 and 28℃. When the temperature exceeds 35℃, 80% of varieties will enter a dormant state. Temperature can be controlled by the following methods: 1. Use sunshade nets to reduce the surface temperature by 3-5 ° C 2. Spray in the morning and evening to cool down and maintain air humidity of 40%-60%3. Heat insulation plates are placed on the bottom of the basin to prevent root burns. Key points for indoor maintenance should be paid attention to: ·Keep a distance of more than 2 meters away from the air conditioner outlet·Ensure 3 hours of natural ventilation every day·Cooperate with the humidifier to maintain humidity balance. Light management plan recommends adopting "three-period lighting method": 06:00- 10:00 Accept soft morning light 10:00-16:00 Use a 3-pin sunshade screen to filter strong light 16:00-18:00 Accept oblique light and observe the condition of the leaves. If shrinkage occurs, the shading rate should be adjusted immediately. Scientific watering system implements the "three-look watering method": 1. Look at the medium: pottery basin 3 days/time, plastic basin 5 days/time 2. Look at the variety: Crassulaceae is extended to 7 days, Cactus family is 10 days 3. Depending on the weather: The best time to delay watering for 2 days after rain is before sunrise (5-6 o'clock) or after sunset (19-20 o'clock). The difference between the water temperature and the ambient temperature must be ≤3℃. Nutrient supply skills recommend using the "1+1 fertilization method":·Basic fertilizer: bone meal (baked at 120℃ for 30 minutes and then crushed)·Supplementary fertilizer: NPK=5-10-5 Slow release fertilizer Stop liquid fertilizer during the dormant period, and strong growth varieties can be applied with thin fertilizer every month (concentration reduced by 50%).
Through the above maintenance system, the summer survival rate of succulent meat can be increased to more than 90%. The key is to grasp the "three control principles": temperature control, water control, and light control. It is recommended to prepare a maintenance log, record daily environmental parameters and plant status, and flexibly adjust the maintenance plan based on specific variety characteristics.
